Make sure that the stick of memory is firmly seated into the DIMM slot. Otherwise, if you have more than one stick of memory, boot up using one stick of memory at a time. Else, if you have a spare stick of DDR-RAM stick lying around, boot up with it.

What brand/make power supply unit do you have?

That sounds like an overheat warning. Is the CPU heatsink installed properly with a thermal pad or compound?
